HIVE blows past 2 USD!

So I haven't been posting in quite a while, and although I've been drafting on a post about the importance of sometimes taking proper breaks from things (a post I've been trying to complete for a few months as a natural first post to be making again) there was just no way that I could not take to the keyboard and make a short celebration post when seeing HIVE blow past $2 for the first time!

As I'm sure everyone will already know, price action has been really good lately, with the price reaching new highs quite regularly since Tuesday last week. I have no idea if there are any particular reasons for why the price should rocket right now, but it's not hard to see that it was inevitable given the good progress and news accumulating over the past months. That said, while I'm not at all surprised to see $2, I am a little bit surprised to see it happening this fast!

Hopefully, this new injection of value and attention can be used for more than just allowing the long-term community to take some deserved profits. Ideally, we can all use it to get more attention to our blockchain and dApps, encourage more friends and contacts to get a Hive account, even if only casually, and also make good strategic use of a growing DHF.

So what are your thoughts on the current situation for HIVE? Are we just seeing the first few green stems of a much larger stairway still ahead? And what do you think we can do together right now to make the best use possible of this attention and added financial strength?

As always, I would love to hear from you in the comments. And I promise that the time until my next post will be much shorter than the time since my last one.
